Mahmoud Khalil, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, and the soul of America
Two ongoing court cases involving lawfully present immigrants—Mahmoud Khalil and Kilmar Abrego Garcia—who were detained under legally dubious circumstances, have emerged as flashpoints in a broader reckoning over America’s identity, the fate of its democracy, and the role of the Courts in our system of checks and balances.

I have just deactivated my Twitter/X account. It felt so good! I do not want to be part of such a hate-filled community and I don't want to continue to be subjected to the propaganda cesspool being posted by pseudo-present Musk and the MAGA cult.
